If you're going through hell/keep on going/don't slow down/keep your fear from showing/you might be gone/'fore the devil even knows you're there

I think ninjas could go faster than the flame w/ their swords and stuff

Nah, Stay-Puft would just go all tar-baby on their asses and they'd be sitting ducks for the cavemen.

If I only had a brain...

Bugs Bunny would watch while they killed each other, then laugh.

The Trickster always wins.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Ninjas don't even use katanas. I weep for geekdom.

What does a Ninja ninj with, then? Besides throwing stars, I mean.

"When I look at people that I would like to feel have been a mentor or an inspiring kind of archetype of what I'd love to see my career eventually be mentioned as a footnote for in the same paragraph, it would be, like, Bowie." ~Trent Reznor

Yeah, I kind of got that whole katana debate going. My apologies. The katana's more of a samurai weapon, particularly when paired with the wakizashi. So really, Hiro Protagonit would just own the whole lot of 'em.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."

The Trickster always wins.

Not always - the trickster often plays the role of the fool as well.

Yeah, he's sure had a problem with that in the past.

"I remember when they eventually introduced that drug kingpin who murdered people and smuggled drugs inside snakes and I was like 'Finally. A normal person.'” —RahvinDragand

On the plus side, if any of those ninjas want to grill kabobs after the fight with Elektra...
